I have found several sites, and places to get candles recently, and I want to say thanks to those of you who contacted me with links to your favorite candles. I am in a creative mood, and I have so many projects hanging out just waiting for me to work on. I really love the cinnamon roll candles, and I think I am going to try my hand at making some. I also love, love, love, ETSY, and have found some wonderful handmade soy candles there as well.

About ten years ago, I used to do a lot of crafting, and I sold them at a local craft show. It was so much fun. I am really missing that creative side of myself, and I need to get back into it. I might just open my own little shop online, or ETSY shop in the near future!

I have put my quilt on the back burner, but will be picking it up again this week. I will also be starting some sewing projects with Miranda, and we will be doing more knitting today. There is always so much to do! Jeff has been hard at work with some household projects, and he has left over wood, so I think I will make some block signs, and wood signs. I love them! I also want to work on making some prim Annie dolls, but I first need to meet with my step mom, who is going to help me with the clothes. She is also going to help Miranda make some clothes for her American girl doll.

I am also looking ahead toward spring which will be here before we know it. We are going to fix up the chicken coop and order some chicks. This winter has been hard on our chickens and we lost some. I will do an update on our farm critters soon. For now, it's off to the craft room...

We are a christian adoptive family! God has pieced together our family in a way that is more beautiful than anything I could have imagined! We have adopted internationally, as well as through the US foster care system, but most importantly we have all been adopted by God! Ephesians 1:5 says "God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ".
We live on a small hobby farm, and homeschool our six children. Life is full!

My first miracle born in 2001. After giving birth to her, I realized that being a mother was the best job out there, and children are a miracle and precious gift from God. She is a true country girl at heart. Horses are her passion. She is an amazing big sister to her 5 little siblings!

Adopted from China in 2007.
Her sweet spirit fills our home with beauty and love. She is our little dancer, and introduced me to the world of recitals, dance practices, tutu's and ballet! Most of all, her love for Jesus shines bright, and even at her young age, she has a passion for orphan care and missions. These are subjects she talks and prays about on a daily basis! Can't wait to see where the Lord takes this girl!

Adopted from U.S. foster care, July 2013.
God's surprises never cease to amaze me. He is Laney's full sibling who came to live with us in Nov. 2011. Our son since the day he arrived. This is the sweetest boy you will ever meet.

Adopted from U.S. foster care November 2011.
Words cannot describe the joy this precious pumpkin brings to our lives! Another sweet miracle fromt the Lord. She was our first foster baby, arriving at the age of 7 weeks. We were blessed to adopt her in November of 2011. She refers to herself as a princess, and is also a lover of kittens, books, and dancing. I guess many more dance practices and recitals are in our future, lol!

Adopted from U.S. foster care, July 2013.
She was our second foster child who came home from the hospital at one week old. She livens up our days with her endless energy and strong will! It has been such a joy to see her and Austin have the chance to be together as brother and sister, and they definately have a bond that makes my heart smile!

Adopted from U.S. foster care July 2013. What a surprise it was to see that the little boy I pictured in my mind, who only the Lord would know, was actually in need of a forever family! Another miraculous gift from the Lord. He arrived at 4 mos. of age in Oct. 2011. Cute as can be with a contagious laugh and smile.
